It's a bit unwieldy, but it will do in a pinch. I'm not sure how this compares with pandoc. I'd really like to be able to set things like doctype, etc. automatically, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that in the org file so that it would survive getting passed through texi into docbook xml (or pandoc, for that matter).

This say I can use C-c C-e D but that gives me 'Invalid key', and it doesn't show up in the export menu. Thanks, -pd -- Peter Davis www.techcurmudgeon.com

It's gone extinct, but there is a fossil record of it in the online manual: http://orgmode.org/guide/DocBook-export.html It's not linked to from the TOC, but turned up in a DuckDuckGo search. It should probably be carefully excavated and placed in the Museum of Paleorgology. Yours, Christian
